The Iron Age 1920-09-09: Vol 106 Iss 11

THE IRON AGE New York, September 9, 1920 ESTABLISHED 1855 American Society —Second Annual ican Steel Treaters’ Society has been a promi- nent feature of the recent history of American technical societies. From small beginnings only two years ago, this organization has taken its place among the larger societies until to-day it comprises an aggregation of local chapters situated in many of the leading cities of the country, as well as one in Canada, and comprising among its membership metallurgists and steel-treating experts in the iron, steel and metal working industries. While the growth has been phenomenal on the surface, the explanation is readily deduced. The application of electricity to the steel industry in general as a source of heat energy has made possible the production of a large number of ferroalloys, which in turn have given rise to the production of numerous. alloy steels. The manu- facture of such steels, containing chromium, nickel, vanadium, tungsten, molybdenum, urani- um, cobalt, ete., in Various combina- tions has been made possible on an exten- sive scale, Such steels, as well as plain carbon steels, have been brought to their greatest degree of usefulness and relia- bility primarily by the application to them various heat-treating proc- esses and apparatus. The expansion in the automotive industry as well as the pro- duction of high quality steels, light in weight, has a “a erated. Increased efficiency in the tool- Industry has also resulted. The consequence satay Widespread demand for steel heat- ting phances and for men skilled in heat- ethods and for research work. T HE development and rapid growth of the Amer- of COL. A. E. WHITE treating ny he ear] ° 4 . ay ‘rly history of the formation of the Ameri- Stee] roagt ’ ‘ . e ' se “cel Lreaters’ Society is related substantially . . in the early part of September, 1918, ‘ted men mailed a letter to others in President and Secretary of American Society for Steel Treating VOL. 106: No. 11 for Steel Treating Brief History of Developments Leading Up to Its Formation—A National Research Laboratory Convention and Exhibition BY EDWIN F. CONE and about Chicago, suggesting the formation of a society for the study and development of the art of heat treating steel and asking them to attend a dinner at the City Club, that city, on Sept. 18, to discuss the project. This letter brought an enthusi- astic response which resulted in an organization and the election of officers. Immediately thereafter the officers met, estab- lished certain committees and appointed men to fill them. It was decided that the first and greatest serv- ice to be given was the publication of a magazine which would provide for a permanent record of the society’s activities and progress and furnish also to each member valuable technical information. The first issue of the Journal appeared in October, 1918, and it has been published monthly ever since, except in July and August. Without a sample copy the promoters succeeded in securing about $450 worth of adver- tising, collectable 30 days after the issue. There were 4000 copies of the first is- sue printed. Soon after this, the work connected with handling the so- ciety’s affairs be- came so great that it was decided to em- ploy a business man- ager, the secretary then being A. G: Henry, metallurgist, Illinois Tool Works, Chicago, and the president, T. E. Bar- ker, production engi- neer, Miehle Print- ing Press & Mfg. Co., also of Chicago. One of the applicants for the position, after studying the society’s affairs, pre- sented a budget for the first year’s activities which was of somewhat staggering proportions. The man who was selected, William H. Eisenman, said at the time: W. H. EISENMAN I have examined your affairs. I have unlimited con- fidence in the future development of your society, so much so that I shall be glad to cast my lot with yours and let my salary depend upon the results attained, you to name it. The work appeals to me and I feel 629 Sicediidmmeina tee dE a 630 that I can contribute largely to the realiza- tion of the objects which you have in view. Aside from the fact that his previ- ous experiences well qualified him for the position, his un- bounded enthusiasm appealed to the offi- cers, and, quent developments have shown, no mis- take was made in the selection. It to the credit of this former business manager and present executive secretary that the new organ- ization has grown to its present size and as subse- is T. E. BARKER Vice-President for Two Years importance. The principle was rec- ognized that, to a society of its na- ture, competent business manage- ment is as essential as to an indus- trial enterprise. The new business manager set about organizing local chapters in various centers, the method pursued being a visit to such cities, the selec- tion and acquaintance of the right men in the local industries, the call- ing of an informal meeting or din- ner of a few so-called charter mem- bers, the launching of the local chap- ter with a public meeting of all in- terested in heat treatment in any of its phases. To Cleveland belongs the honor of first nurturing a local chapter. This was in January, 1919. Then came Pittsburgh on Feb. 24, with Milwaukee on March 5. Philadelphia joined the new society on March 21, followed by Cincinnati on April 18, Buffalo on May 9, Rochester, N. Y., on May 12 and New York City on May 1919. Within three months and five days, eight chapters were organized. Then came the organization’s first national con- vention and exhibition at Chicago during the week of Sept. 22, 1919. It was featured by an array of papers that would have been creditable to a much older society and by an exhibition of steel-treating appliances, processes and products which excited the admiration of experienced technical convention and exhibition promoters. Since that convention been organized as follows: v= North West Chapter, Minneapolis. Tri-City Chapter, Rock Island, Il. St. Louis Chapter, St. Louis. Lehigh Valley Chapter, Easton, Pa. New Haven Chapter, New Haven, Conn. Providence Chapter, Providence, R. I. Springfield Chapter, Springfield, Mass. Bridgeport Chapter, Bridgeport, Conn. Boston Chapter, Boston. Baltimore Chapter, Baltimore. Toronto Chapter, Toronto, Can This brings the total to 20. The Detroit terri- tory will be represented by a chapter there when W. 8. Treasurer of 99 23, ~ 11 more chapters have THE IRON AGE September 9, 1929 the amalgamation of the Steel Treating Research Society, already authorized, takes effect next wee, Each chapter has, as officers and executive commit. tees, men identified with the leading indy the steel and metal-working fields in the r: territories. Some years ago there was organized Detri a technical society under the title Stee Research Society. This never developed ties outside of that particular territory, one of the most important ones in the country. Ay tomobile companies are extensive users of he: treating processes and equipment. One of the no} ble developments of the past year has been the cessful campaign for the amalgamation of this s ciety with the larger but newer organization. |; has been a matter of general satisfaction that { was brought about, thus eliminating any likeli} of rivalry and insuring full co-operation for th science as a whole. The Steel Treating Resear Society has joined the American Steel Treaters’ S ciety in its convention and exhibition next week Philadelphia and the first days’ sessions will co: plete the amalgamation of the two societies int: American Society for Steel Treating The result of the ballot on amal- gamation showed that but 34 cast against the amalgamation, and consequently, by the adoption of the constitution therewith submitted, the nomintaing committee provided for in that report held a meeting in Pittsburgh and recommended the election of the following officers: were For president, one year: Col.

Heat Treating Automobile Drive Shafts New Plant of the Timken-Detroit Axle Co.—Furnaces Have Flues in the Doors —Waste Gases Used for Pre-Heating placed in operation a new heat-treating plant which has several interesting features in equipment and arrangement. Among these is a continuous furnace of the pusher type for anneal- ing automobile drive shafts and other heat-treated parts. The plant is equipped with 28 oil-fired heat- treating and carbonizing furnaces, these being di- vided into three batteries. One type used for car- Tn Timken-Detroit Axle Co., Detroit, recently ‘3 i 8 Arrangement of the pit that extends The Heat-Treating Plant, Showing the bonizing consists of single chamber furnaces 8 ft. wide 8 ft. deep with two doors. The second type is a double chamber furnace with chambers 5 ft. wide and 5 ft. deep. Both these and the large fur- naces have their hearths on a level with the floor. Furnaces in the third battery are similar to those in the second in size and design, but their hearths are 2 ft. above the floor. These furnaces are used for lighter work. A distinctive feature of the furnaces is that The Pusher Type Furnace in the Plant of the Timken-Detroit Axle Co., for Annealing Auto Driving Shaits. *| arms shown in front of the door. : gravity conveyor, several of these plates appearing in the picture at the disc! conveyor 636 pushed through the furnace by the chamber are returned on the along they have flues in the doors at the front to provide sufficient draft to bring the hot gases up to the doors and prevent cold spots in front of the doors. These flues, three in number, in each door are 4 in. outside diameter in the large furnaces and 315 in. outside diameter in the smaller and extend up a distance of about 30 in. from about 2 in. above the furnace floor.
